Fanciful low budget fun.
I was watching this on Svengoolie, but a storm apparently interrupted the DVR recording, and I lost the last 10 minutes. This plot is reminiscent of a Jules Vern novel.
The theme is about what makes us human. Through adversity most of the party give in to their baser instincts, but our lead never falters. In the course of the trials they meet someone who has lived in isolation for over ten years.
It's the 50s, and a Vernesque plot, so things resolve themselves rather nicely. As a kickback nostalgia trip, it fit the bill nicely.
Low budget, but fun
